    Hello: I have “Embed PDF” version 1.04.

    the [embed]...[/embed] shortcode works fine on a page. But when I use do_shortcode within PHP code on a template page, the plugin doesn’t bring up the PDF viewer. Here’s how I’m using it:


    <?php
    echo do_shortcode('[embed]'.'https://example.com/example.pdf'.'[/embed]');
    ?>

    Thanks!
    Paul

    fyi… i found that this code works:


    <?php
    global $wp_embed;
    $post_embed = $wp_embed->run_shortcode('[embed]https://example.com/example.pdf[/embed]');
    echo $post_embed;
    ?>

    not sure why do_shortcode didn’t work.

    I agree, it’s odd that do_shortcode wasn’t working for you.
    Glad you found something that did work, though.

    Yeah, do_shortcode won’t work for me either.
